To illustrate, the city of New York is different than the state of New York.
Likewise, although there is a district in Antalya Province named Alanya, it comprises of the city proper and the surrounding area (including uninhabited areas like forests and smaller settlements like villages).
In addition, Marmaris is a city of Muğla Province. The province was named after its capital city Muğla. (By using the word 'capital city,' I mean the administrative center of the province, nor the national capital which is Ankara.)
